Dear Officials of the Office of Attorney General of Texas (OAG) state agency in Austin,

I have not received any reply e-mail letter from OAG stating that the Attorney General of Texas has assigned an official identification number to my two-part January 9, 2023, online and 
e-mail Open Records complaint (below) against Communications Manager Brandon Jones of the Austin Police Department Public Information Office in Austin, Texas.

I would appreciate receiving from you as soon as possible the official complaint number your state agency has assigned to my Open Records complaint against Mr. Jones.

I also want to take this opportunity to provide you with the current official Utah Driver's License identification number for my currently valid Utah Driver's License. That ID number is ..... (withheld from this blog for legal reasons).

I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely and Best Wishes,
public information requestor and current Open Records  complainant John Kevin McMillan, 535 S. 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
My D.O.B. 4-27-1957. My P.O.B. Lincoln, Nebraska.
Cell phone: (512) 993-7305.
My home phone: (801) 355-0850.

Dear Open Records Complaints Investigators for the Attorney General of Texas state agency in Austin,

I was unable tonight to download for your state agency the text of my September 4, 2022, online Open Records request (below) that I had submitted online on that date last year to the Austin Police Department Public Information Office in Austin, Texas, at their official website.

I still have not received any written response from the Austin Police Department Public Information Office that provided me with any document responsive to my September 4, 2022, online public-information request (below) to Austin Police.

The exactly quoted text of that online request of mine to APD is provided directly below in its entirety as a supplement to my otherwise-complete online Open Records Complaint on this that I submitted to your State of Texas agency in Austin at about 10:30 p.m. Mountain Time tonight.

"I am seeking a copy of a record or statement currently on file with the Austin (TX) Police Department which confirms in writing that your municipal law-enforcement agency in September 2022 is continuing to maintain and fully protect the DNA-evidence integrity of any and all DNA-traceable items and other items in each of the three respective rape-evidence kits that were each obtained from me at my request by a forensic nurse inside a hospital emergency room in Austin in 2011 (two such kits obtained from me that year, on April 28 and on December 22) and in 2021 (on September 2), respectively. Those three rape-evidence kits on my behalf as the criminal-law complainant were for APD Sex Crimes Case Number 11-1180447;  APD Sex Crimes Case Number 11-3550615; and APD Sex Crimes Case Number 2021-2440624. My legal name is John Kevin McMillan. I was born on April 27, 1957, in Lincoln, Nebraska. I resided in Austin, Texas, on a continuous and uninterrupted basis from mid-March 1997 until December 31, 2021. I have resided in Salt Lake County, Utah, on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since December 31, 2021. My current home address and mailing address ever since June 1, 2022, is: Wasatch Manor, 535 South 200 East, Apt. 912, Ninth Floor, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. My current Utah Driver's License number is:....(omitted by me, John Kevin McMillan, from this follow-up e-mail letter for personal security reasons). My current home phone number is: (801) 355-0850. My cell phone number ever since August 2019: (512) 993-7305."
